Strategy: SIEM

Tom Liston01/31/12

There are no security silver bullets. Like any other tool, a security information and event management (SIEM) system can provide an enormous benefit when properly deployed and maintained. A poorly implemented, understaffed and ill-maintained SIEM system is the kind of expensive folly that ruins careers. But a properly tuned, well-maintained SIEM can provide enormously valuable, immediately actionable threat intelligence that can pay for itself over and over again. In this report, we look at SIEM use cases and offer advice for evaluating SIEM systems. (S4180212)
